Default includepicture with problems in mailmerge

If I use:
{includepicture "c:\folder1\folder2\photo.jpg"}
and save the document, the includepicture will become:
{includepicture "photo.jpg"}

And if the document is in c:\folder1\folder2\folder3, the includepicture
will become:
{includepicture "..\photo.jpg"}

Is there a solution to keep the absolute path? Because this absolute path is
a docproperty field with if field and others fields, besides the mergefield.
So, because this behaviour, I lose all my fields inside the includepicture.
And I don't want to include only photo.jpg, because the includepicture field
uses the curDir from the Word. So, if the user double-click the document, the
includepicture won't work. So, I want to (with VBA) include the absolute path
(and keeping it).
